Weather in Kuala Lumpur and best time to go

Detail of Petronas Tower

Malaysia's tropical climate ensures year-round temperatures of around 30°C and high humidity. In Kuala Lumpur, you can count on stable weather every day, characterised by clouds, temperatures of 33 °C and occasional showers.

In KL, the sun can shine in an azure sky and within 10 minutes it will be covered with black clouds and very heavy rain. In another 10 minutes it is mostly over.

If you watch the weather forecast, thunderstorms will always jump out at you. Don't be alarmed, storm days are constantly reported by the dewdrops for 365 days a year and in reality the weather is sunny, cloudy at best.
